I have been waiting for this day...

Back in high school, I was the french braid queen. I could do my own hair, and would do fancy braids for my mom and friends, especially while sitting around at volleyball or basketball tournaments waiting for our turn to play.

Charlotte's hair is finally long enough, and every once in a while (with sufficient bribes) she will hold still long enough to do "pretty princess hair". Here is one of the first few attempts. The best part was she was so proud of her pretty princess hair...



So on a good day, that is what she looks like. On a normal day, she wants to dress and accessorize herself... The only thing missing from this picture is usually the outfit includes her Princess purse and a bathing suit rather than the princess jammies. Stunning.

The GOOD things about being pregnant!

In an effort to have a positive attitude during my last month of pregnancy, I thought I should document the things I enjoy about being pregnant:

1) My hair looks GREAT! It is super thick and feels SO healthy. I can't remember the last time I ran my fingers through my hair and one came out...

2) I have an instant conversation starter with nice people I don't know who are just curious how far along I am, how many kids I have, etc.

3) I eat all the time, whatever I want, and don't feel one bit guilty about it.

4) My skin also feels fabulous and no cruel adult acne...

5) My Gap maternity jeans. Love 'em.

6) I have very crazy, often entertaining dreams that I can usually remember when I wake up.

7) I do not feel guilty when I am so tired in the afternoon that I just lay on the couch while Scott plays the Wii.

8) The hair on my legs completely stops growing.

9) How could I forget... I am going to be able to stay in the hospital for 4 days! I LOVE the hospital!

10) Friends and family are genuinely excited and interested in this wonderful event in our family.

Now just pray for me that I can go to bed and get a decent night sleep :)
